Gaudí's Dragon

Gaudí's Dragon is a striking ceramic mosaic sculpture located in Park Güell, Barcelona, created by architect Antoni Gaudí. Inspired by myths and nature, it depicts a colorful, sinuous dragon or salamander, symbolizing Catalan identity and creative vitality. The mosaic combines broken ceramic pieces into vibrant patterns, exemplifying Gaudí’s innovative use of materials and his naturalistic, fantasy-inspired style. As a public art piece, it invites viewers to appreciate craftsmanship, symbolism, and Gaudí’s integration of organic forms within architectural settings. The dragon has become a cultural icon and an enduring symbol of Barcelona’s artistic heritage.
